"This home has been really special to us and it has been the perfect place for our son to grow up. We have loved walking to the near by cafes, markets at the cemetery and riding our bikes to the harbourside. We also get a great view of the hot air ballons flying over the house in the summer."
The home
A handsome Victorian double bay fronted terrace that has been looked after and tastefully renovated, offering well-proportioned accommodation across three floors, including a superb loft conversion.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall sets the tone immediately, a welcoming space from which the home unfolds. To the right, the living room is a characterful space retaining its original cornicing and fireplace, offering a taste of the property's Victorian heritage. Continuing along the hall, the dining room occupies a light position, with a generous rear-facing window drawing in natural light and providing pleasant views over the garden. This space flows into the kitchen, which proves pleasingly wider than expected, fitted with warm wooden worktops that give the room a homely feel. At the rear of the kitchen, a practical utility room with a downstairs W/C adds a level of everyday convenience.
The first floor offers two double bedrooms, the principal of which sits to the front of the house and benefits from the characteristic bay window. A four-piece family bathroom is positioned to the rear of the house. Of particular note is a clever use of the landing space towards the front of the house, where the current owners have created a dedicated home office area, neatly tucked behind the staircase rising to the second floor, providing a discreet and functional work from home space.
The second floor is the result of a dormer loft conversion, now home to a truly impressive master bedroom suite. Excellent head height throughout, a Juliet balcony accessed via large double doors overlooking the rear garden, a well-appointed three-piece ensuite shower room, and useful eaves storage combine to create a quality master bedroom space.
The outside
The rear garden is a asset to the property. A patio area sits closest to the house before giving way to a lawned area and a raised decking space that comes into its own in the summer months, perfect for barbecues and entertaining. There is a rare sense of seclusion with no properties directly backing onto the plot.
Living on Edward Road
Edward Road is hidden gem of a road nestled between Totterdown, Knowle and Brislington in the wonderful area of Arnos Vale. An area of Bristol containing beautiful period properties, new landmark developments , green spaces and a cool vibe of a community with the added bonus of graffiti trails. The nearby parks lend this location a particularly green feel with the property backing on to the pretty Arnos Vale Cemetery and across the road is Arnos Vale Park and Arnos Court Park. The beautiful inner-city green spaces of Perrett’s Park, Victoria Park and Sparke Evans Park are all also within walking distance. This area thrives from its proximity to several popular areas of Bristol like Totterdown and Brislington but with permit parking and a quiet location. Just a short walk up the hill are the popular independent shops and eateries, such as the award-winning Farrows Fish and Chips. Arnos Vale Victorian Cemetery and woodland are also home to a cafe and a programme of events including pop-up cinemas, theatres, tours and classes. The area is ideal for commuters, in walking distance to Bristol City Centre, Temple Meads Train Station, and with bus links direct to Bath just outside the door.
